I took notice of this article by way of an IP attempting to add this to the list of AfDs for today. I'd initially just directed the IP to the part of the deletion page for IP users to nominate an entry, but after further inspection I don't honestly see where this guy is particularly notable. Of the sources given, many are dead links and in some of them he's only mentioned briefly and is not the focus of the article. One just goes to a page that isn't even about Snell (being a list of tips/links), and one is by a magazine that probably wouldn't count as a reliable source. It also has problems with being overly promotional. It was declined as a speedy for G11, but just barely. I know that being promotional or in bad shape isn't in itself a reason to delete, but it seems to be one of many issues with the article. A search didn't bring up anything that would show that he's overwhelmingly notable. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 18:41, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless additional significant sources can be found. The magazine interview may or may not get us halfway to WP:GNG, but I don't see the second half being covered by any of the remaining sources. I did make some attempts (some failed) at retrieval of the deadlink references via Highbeam and via the Wayback Machine with little success. My own searches didn't come up with much, with this perhaps being the next-longest reference to Snell. Additional sources welcomed, as always. --j⚛e decker ^talk 19:10, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as the guy who nominated it for speedy deletion. Very heavily promotional and seemingly unnotable as well. Lukeno94 (talk) 19:38, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
